'It was a man like him that they feared would come to possess the presidency'Amid a three-pronged attack on the U.S. Constitution by Democrats,
talk-radio host Michael Savage reminded his listeners that America’s
Founding Fathers built into the nation’s founding document checks and
balances that anticipated the rise of a dictator who would try to seize
power.
Barack Obama is the type of “petty dictator” the Founders envisioned, Savage told his national audience tonight.

Obama told NBC’s Matt Lauer Sunday that “people” have been
“frustrated” that “I have not been able to force Congress to implement
every aspect of what I said in 2008.”
“Well, you know,” the president continued, “it turns out that our
Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about
change than I would like sometimes.”
Savage also pointed to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s
disdain of the U.S. Constitution in an interview with Egyptian
television in Cairo last week and a New York Times story published today
that characterized the founding document as old and insufficient for
today’s world.
Ginsburg said in the interview with Al Hayat television Feb. 1 that
the Middle East country’s revolutionaries should not regard the U.S.
Constitution as a model.
“I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a
constitution in the year 2012,” Ginsburg said. “I might look at the
constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a
fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights,
have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of
work that was done.”
Savage commented that there’s been “a concerted effort on the part of
Obama, Ginsburg – and now the New York Times is chiming in – saying the
Constitution is out of date, it’s old, it guarantees too few rights and
it’s time to change [it].”
“They want the Constitution to be rewritten,” Savage said.

The New York Times article, by Adam Liptak, began with asserting the Constitution “has seen better days.”

“Sure, it is the nation’s founding document and sacred text,” Liptak
wrote. “And it is the oldest written national constitution still in
force anywhere in the world. But its influence is waning.”
Savage surmised that Liptak’s ancestors likely fled czarist Russia or
a similar land “specifically so they would be protected by the U.S.
Constitution.”
“And now their subterranean grandson, Adam Liptak, is dong the
bidding of the petty dictator by saying the Constitution has seen better
days,” he said.
Liptak wrote that the Constitution is “out of step with the rest of
the world in failing to protect, at least in so many words, a right to
travel, the presumption of innocence and entitlement to food, education
and health care.”
Savage commented: “In other words, because the U.S. Constitution does
not guarantee a socialist or communist view of the world, it is,
therefore, useless.”
The Times writer also characterized the right to bear arms as an
“idiosyncrasy,” pointing out that only 2 percent of the world’s
constitutions protect that right.
“Do you have any idea what is going on here?” Savage asked. “Do you
realize that we have a power-mad Leninist in the White House, Barack
Obama?”
“The Savage Nation” airs live Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern. It can be heard online through stations such as KSTE in Sacramento.

Funny, but you don't ever have to question Savage's patriotism. Nor does one ever have to question his desire to have the country succeed.
Obama, not so much.
From Obama's engineered skyrocketing of energy costs, his trafficking in weapons to Mexican drug cartels, his failed foreign policies and the unprecedented corruption looting the treasury, everyone has to wonder whether Obama wants anything good for the country.
Savage is the only articulate and immensly educated person asking these questMore..ions. No one else even comes close.Less..

@trialdog You mean Obama actually ran the program to funnel guns to Mexican drug Lords ?!! Another brainless Rush fan. His foreign has stepped up drone strikes and helped bag Osama. Looting the treasury... ? How you idiot. He carried on Bush tarp fund policies as a matter of fact in regards to the Banks he and Bush are practically identical.

@Ithinkthat1 Too bad the industrial revolution came so late. If it had come 300 years earlier, there might have been no slavery in this country. Slaves would have been worthless. As it was, they cost up to $40,000 in today's dollars. John Deere, where were you when we really needed you?
